In Review: The Week of July 8th

On the Blog

~ This week we shared our #aluhotsummer reads to keep you feeling COOL. From action-adventure to laugh-out-loud to magical & dystopian to YA reads, we’ve got a bit of summer love for every reader.~ #ALUbookclub continued this week with our staff discussion about Karen Hofmann’s short story collection Echolocation (NeWest Press), including what we loved most about the book, passages that we just had to re-read, and music that complemented our reading.

Around the Web

~ Silent book clubs are a thing now for reading alone, together.~ In a bizarre literary crime a vandal is tearing through a seaside England town, ripping pages out of books and replacing them on shelves.~ At home, a new national literature is being written by women beyond Atwood and Munro.
